Comments:
Fantastic conditions on 15/10 meters, including unusual Asia/Pacific morning
openings. More often than not, the rule was point the beam due north and work
just about everyone. VK's and W6's also often best on a north beam heading (???)
A fun contest, with lots of activity right up to the end. Timing of the
contest wasn't great as I couldn't resist two big distractions: some very
exciting college basketball games and the first weekend of the year with
excellent bicycling weather.
A bit of a mind blower was exchanging 59/1643 reports with CL0C.
Am I imagining it, or isn't the level of overdriven audio/splattering of most
European run stations getting worse and worse every contest? Had to ask for
fills many times because of unintelligible audio. With conditions like these,
why do they do this (dumb question)?
Wish more Europeans would listen split on 40m. 40m conditions were actually
quite good, but limited number of stations to work from US.
